Introduction and Afterword by Lewis L. Gould. Published for the National Archives Trust Fund Board. PUB TYPE Collected Works General (020) -- Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC08 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Archives; *Authors; *Females; Modern History; Presidents of the United States; Primary Sources; Resource Materials; Social History; *United States History IDENTIFIERS *First Ladies (United States); *Personal Writing; Public Records; Social Power; Twentieth Century; Womens History ABSTRACT This collection of essays about the Presidential wives of the 20th century through Nancy Reagan. An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M. Wolf skill); "Not One to Stay at Home: The Papers of Lou Henry Hoover" (Dale C. -

Although this semester has flown by, it has also been an extremely important semester for future students of OU NROTC. This semester we have witnessed two extremely important events that will have im- pacts for many years to come. First, our annual Alumni reunion saw the highest participation that has been seen in recent years. It was amazing to see this large turnout and more im- portantly their engagement with our current students. Two weeks later the University an- nounced a very significant and generous donation to the ROTC programs at the University of Oklahoma from Jim and Miriam Mulva. Portions of this donation will support a full renovation of the Armory that is planned from May 2019 to June 2020. This generous donation will im- prove all the spaces in the Armory while maintaining the history of the building which will enhance the education and training of students for years to come. Along with the staff spending time planning for the Armory renovation and our tem- porary move during construction, the battalion remained extremely busy which is normal for the Fall semester. We are completing the Fall semester with 51 total students, including 23 Freshman. -

Camp David's Shadow
Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Seth Anziska All rights reserved ABSTRACT Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska This dissertation examines the emergence of the 1978 Camp David Accords and the consequences for Israel, the Palestinians, and the wider Middle East. Utilizing archival sources and oral history interviews from across Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Camp David’s Shadow recasts the early history of the peace process. It explains how a comprehensive settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict with provisions for a resolution of the Palestinian question gave way to the facilitation of bilateral peace between Egypt and Israel. As recently declassified sources reveal, the completion of the Camp David Accords—via intensive American efforts— actually enabled Israeli expansion across the Green Line, undermining the possibility of Palestinian sovereignty in the occupied territories. By examining how both the concept and diplomatic practice of autonomy were utilized to address the Palestinian question, and the implications of the subsequent Israeli and U.S. military intervention in Lebanon, the dissertation explains how and why the Camp David process and its aftermath adversely shaped the prospects of a negotiated settlement between Israelis and Palestinians in the 1990s. In linking the developments of the late 1970s and 1980s with the Madrid Conference and Oslo Accords in the decade that followed, the dissertation charts the role played by American, Middle Eastern, international, and domestic actors in curtailing the possibility of Palestinian self-determination. -

ABSTRACT BIZIEFF, MICHAEL PATRICK. Jimmy Carter and the Shah
ABSTRACT BIZIEFF, MICHAEL PATRICK. Jimmy Carter and the Shah: US Foreign Relations with Iran a Year before the Fall of the Shah (Under the direction of Dr. Nancy Mitchell). This thesis investigates US relations with Iran by focusing on the Shah of Iran’s visit to Washington D.C. in November 1977, President Carter’s visit to Tehran the following December, and the US response to the protests in Qom a week after Carter’s departure. It analyses the objectives of the two visits as well as their impact. It then looks at the tragic moment when the Iranian government fired on protestors in Qom. By focusing on this two-month period, which is considered the beginning of the Iranian Revolution, this thesis deepens our understanding of the Carter administration’s policies toward Iran prior to the Iranian Revolution. © Copyright 2019 by Michael Bizieff All Rights Reserved Jimmy Carter and the Shah: US Relations with Iran a Year before the Fall of the Shah by Michael Patrick Bizieff A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of North Carolina State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts History Raleigh, North Carolina 2019 APPROVED BY: _______________________________ _______________________________ Dr. Nancy Mitchell Dr. Katherine Mellen Charron Committee Chair _______________________________ _______________________________ Dr. Julia Rudolph Dr. Golbarg Rekabtalaei External Member ii DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and my two beautiful children, Tristan James and Thea Noël Bizieff. iii BIOGRAPHY Michael Patrick Bizieff received his undergraduate degree from North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina. -

3Rd Battalion, 3Rdmarines Memories
3rd Battalion, 3rdMarines Aug 2010 Washington DC Memories America’s Battalion History - Honor - Tradition - Brotherhood Young Corpsmen … vintage Marines 3/3 at 29 Palms, March 2010 Why we gather together: There is a Bible scripture that states “There is no greater love than one who gives his life for another.” Many gave their lives that we could be here this evening. While we were spared by fate from giving our lives, we were prepared to do so for our fellow Marines and Docs. That’s the essence of Marine love and that’s why we did what we did. We cared for one another then as we do today. There’s nothing more to say. It would be unnecessary or redundant to say that we would trust our lives to one another—simply be- cause we have already have and in more ways that we could ever imagine or recount. We’re alive today be- cause of the quiet and unassuming courage and compassion of those in this room tonight as well as many or our comrades who are unable to be with us or who are with us only in spirit. That’s why we’ve come from great distances and, for some, at great expense. We’ll never be able to repay one another. There really isn’t enough money in the world to do that. But we will forever remember each other. That’s why we’re here. That’s why we’re so proud to have been a 3/3 Marine in Vietnam and so proud to be a part of this celebration of remembrance so many years later.
